How Clear is YOUR television?

This exhibit demonstrates how the difference in 2 resolutions can greatly affect the image that’s created. Resolution is how many pixels there are in a display. The more there are the higher the resolution. A higher resolution image is smoother and has more detail. Resolution is measured in how many pixels are horizontal by how many are vertical. A standard CRT television has a resolution of 440 × 486. A 1080p high definition TV has a resolution of 1920×1080. There is a massive difference in these resolutions thus a much higher quality image.  You can see here the screen on the left has bigger pins, or pixels, and creates a blockier image where the one on the right has more pins that are smaller and this creates a smoother picture. This is a similar comparison you would have if you compared a HDTV with a non-HTV of the same size. It’s hard to compare different resolutions on different sized screens; a slightly smaller resolution on a much smaller screen will look much smoother than a slightly bigger resolution on a much bigger screen. This exhibit demonstrates the difference in a very visual and easy to understand way. It’s also quite a bit of fun! Come check it out!
